Can you tell me what those green "sprouts" growing on your rocks are ? I got the same on 2 of my rock. I didn't notice them until this weekend because they are growing on the back of the rocks in an area that is well lit but also hiden when viewing from the front.
thanks alot!

Rpn352-I got the reef rack from www.reefermadness.us
I did "modify" the rack a bit... you can read more about how I modified it here:

I'm not 100% sure b/c they are not listed on any hitchhiker ID page that I've seen but I'm speculating that they are just some type of tube sponge...

It's actually a calcareous algae...the name escapes me atm. I'll post if I find/recall it.

I wouldn't worry about them. They tend to vanish on their own after a couple weeks.

Okay...
I couldn't resist...
Here are some pics of my purchase from this weekend
Cuttlefish Egg:
Here's a picture of the newborn (today
)
And here's a full tank shot (w/a lot of micro bubbles from messing with the skimmer).
That's all for now I'll be sure to follow up about the new cuttle
He will most likely go in my other tank when he gets bigger...

Still working on getting the cuttlefish to eat- I'm pulling small rubble from my refugium that is covered in pods along w/some cheata... I haven't seen him eat yet-
I'm going to try some more mysis and pods from the sump and some brine shrimp tonight.
From what I've read, it's quite normal for them not to eat for a few days after hatching.

Well, a few updates since my last post...
I was unable to get the cuttlefish eating unfortunately (didn't eat pods, mysis or anything else for that matter) and he didn't make it. I may try again soon but will do more research first...
I bought a diamond goby to help keep the sand clean (so far he's clouding up the tank more than anything) and a neon goby.
The tanks are doing well but too skittish to get any good pictures!
I received my VHO bulbs and finally put them all in (almost went to the ER in the process b/c I stabbed my finger badly while stripping the wire from the harness).
Here's a couple pics:
This one is just to show wiring a bit....
And this one I've added the lights w/photoshop and given you the specs...
Hope to have more pics of the progress soon.
I now have the VHO actinics on 8hrs a day and the MH's on 5hours.

I should have picked a better title (I wish I could change it now)...Seems this one doesn't catch too much attention...
I have a pinpoint pH controller and am looking into getting a calcium reactor soon...
I'm thinking about the MRC CR-2...
Unless someone suggests otherwise... haven't heard anything but praise about it...

So the Kole tang and the Purple tang seem to get along great! They hang out together all day doing exploring as a team...
From people who have Purple or Kole tangs- how long does it take for them to start being less skittish?
Also, next big question... What types of tangs get along together... for instance, I've heard you shoud not put a yellow, black or another purple tang in with a purple tang.
Is that true?
Are there any tangs that don't get along with either the Kole or Purple?
Thanks!
